What we do.
You probably won’t hear much about what we do, but we focus on supporting missions and outcomes that make a difference.
Our name, Bytoa, is a portmanteau, coined from the combination of 'byte' and 'Toa', a Polynesian warrior. Our name represents our unwavering devotion to the defense of our Nation and the freedoms and liberties it affords us.
We focus on supporting missions and outcomes that make a difference. We’ve devoted ourselves to studying and becoming experts in the tools, techniques, and technologies used to perform data science and cyberspace operations, and intersecting the two to drive impactful mission outcomes.
Our team has experience with software engineering, data science and machine learning, cyberspace operations, vulnerability analysis and exploit development, reverse engineering and development against Windows, *nix and embedded systems.
We apply our knowledge of adversary tradecraft and cyber warfare by providing assessment and transformation services to bolster the security posture of our customers.
Software Engineering
Our experts have experience providing long-term software development lifecycle support as well as rapid innovation and development. Our team’s experience spans traditional software engineering, software solutions for high performance computing and data analytics capabilities and niche capabilities and frameworks. We have experience with Windows, *nix and embedded systems, low-level development with C/C++ and Assembly, exploit development and experience with languages such as Java, Python and .NET
Cyberspace Operations
We understand the challenges of the rapidly evolving and dynamic cyber domain. Our experts have more than a decade of experience supporting full-spectrum cyberspace operations in support of national priorities. Whether your goal is to defend your network or to conduct adversary pursuit and enable operational outcomes, our experts have extensive, mission-focused and tactical experience to enable your mission.
Data Science and Machine Learning
We understand how to make data actionable and uncover insights to allow your teams to exploit information and make decisions. Our experts understand how to apply link analysis, graph technologies and machine learning, and we build analytic capabilities that illuminate critical information within disparate datasets.
Reverse Engineering
Our team has experience dissecting attacker tools and backdoors in support of incident responders, reversing embedded firmware and software, deconstructing common network protocols and proprietary protocols, x86, x64 and proprietary binary formats. Our team helps develop innovative tools to aid lines of effort and automate malware analysis and reverse engineering efforts.
Vulnerability Analysis and Exploit Development
We combine our skills and experience from reverse engineering and CNO software engineering to discover and exploit vulnerabilities in networks, software, and systems. We have experience with software & protocol fuzzing, exploit development, penetration testing, systems security analysis and source code review.
Assessment and Transformation
You’ve invested in your cybersecurity program. Do you know how you compare against industry benchmarks or what your current exposure is and how well your security program performs under targeted attack? Let us evaluate your organization’s ability to effectively prevent, detect, and respond to cyber threats before they disrupt business. You’ll receive pragmatic recommendations to improve processes, technologies and overall security posture.
